After a meal.
Qi Yu spread out the desk, put pen and paper on it, and wrote the couplets needed by each door in the house.
Today is the twenty-eighth day of the New Year, and it’s time to prepare these items.
Compared with previous years, the situation this year was slightly different. There was a heartwarming scene of two beauties practicing ink at the same time.
One of them is naturally his wife Liu Quan, who has a high profile for his crimes; and the other one is Yin Tao, the most beautiful woman among them.
One of them is dignified and beautiful, and the other is elegant and pleasant. When they stop there at the same time, they are really dazzling.
Mencius said that the people of Qi have one wife and one concubine. Perhaps this is the so-called blessing of the people of Qi!
After putting aside distracting thoughts, Qi Yu began to concentrate and write.
I can see that he wrote with strong penmanship: If there is a close friend who appreciates it, I will sing Yangchun all over the place without hesitation.
How is this a serious couplet?
It's clearly an excerpt from a sentimental poem.
However, this poem is a true portrayal of Yin Tao's state of mind, so she immediately shouted "Hello" after reading it, and her brows were also undisguisedly happy.
Although Liu Quan had read few books, he could basically understand the meaning, so he also said hello.
After laughing, Yin Tao suddenly said: "Husband, do you know that someone once gave the same sentence to our little Qixiao?"
who? To whom?
my son?
Qi Yu laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "This is a bit of a joke. How can he understand the connotation of this poem when he is so old?" After laughing, he realized something was wrong, so he said again: "You You mean, there was a girl who gave private love poems to our little Qixiao?"
Yin Tao said with a smile: "My husband's choice of words is slightly inappropriate. That little girl is a grown-up girl who is about to enter her prime years. She is not a little baby whose deciduous teeth have not yet been replaced. Therefore, we can no longer call her a girl." If I remember correctly, after this year, the little girl should be twelve years old."
Twelve years old?
Yes, Not Bad!
As the saying goes, if a female college student holds gold bricks, her son will get a big deal!
Cough, spit!
What am I thinking about?
Qi Yu shook his head quickly, forcing himself to wake up, and then said seriously: "Xiao'er is now at the golden age of learning knowledge. If you indulge in Zhimu Shaoai too early, you will definitely delay your good life! So this Things must be suppressed by him, and there must be no development."
Yin Tao smiled and said, "Husband, do you know that this matter was ordered by Mr. Meng?"
Um?
Why did it involve Mr. again?
Not only was Qi Yu puzzled, but Liu Quan, who was listening on the side, was filled with confusion.
Qi Dalang touched his chin and asked curiously: "Taoer, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Yin Tao said 'hmm', then smiled and asked: "Husband, do you still remember this girl Mu Ziqing? The girl I mentioned just now refers to her."
She~~
of course I remember!
This girl's true identity is the biological daughter of the former Queen Hu. She later fled to Nanyang to avoid the chaos in the palace, and her name was changed from Li Qing to Mu Ziqing.
Later, she was rescued by Xiaotong who went to Dawan to seek work, and finally was able to settle down in Qiongzhou.
For this treasure of royal blood, the Qi family can definitely be said to be the most benevolent and righteous people.
Qi Yu recalled briefly, and then said: "On weekdays, this little girl keeps a very low profile, and almost no news is heard about her. In this case, why is she related to our Qi Xiao again?"
Yin Tao smiled and said: "Husband, please don't be confused, just listen to me."
Next, she briefly described the whole story.
According to her, Mu Ziqing took the initiative to approach Qi Xiao because of Meng Lanshan's hidden instructions. In private, the old man once taught her that if she wanted to truly settle down and live her life, she must find a way to rely on the big tree of the Qi family. Otherwise, the current peace would not last long.
Mu Ziqing kept these words in mind.
As she grew older and became more familiar with people, the thought of "getting closer" to Qi Xiao arose in her confusion.
After that, Mu Ziqing launched a series of back-and-forth pursuits and kept sending letters, and the poem excerpt that Qi Yu just wrote happened to be one of the lines in her letters.
Gradually, Qi Xiao couldn't bear the disturbance, so he told his aunt about his difficulties.
After hearing this, Yin Tao laughed it off. She neither helped him with any ideas nor spoke out against it, but just hid in the dark and observed silently.
That's basically what happened.
While listening, Qi Yu murmured to himself: It seems that Mr. is still brooding about his actions as a corpse minister back then. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to protect Mu Ziqing.
Marriage between men and women is the most practical and effective method among all the measures to protect it. The old gentleman's advice is definitely far-sighted.
From the perspective of a loyal minister, Meng Lanshan's idea was indeed full of sincerity; but in Qi Yu's view, the teacher's matchmaking was somewhat inappropriate.
You know, what he dislikes the most is the so-called political marriage, not to mention that it involves his own son.
Then, what is the attitude of the second daughter?
Liu Quan thought for a while and said, "Mu Ziqing, that little girl, is a member of the royal family. It is more than enough for us to marry into our family. How about we find a suitable opportunity and settle down as a baby?"
Yin Tao refused to approve: "I have secretly observed Mu Ziqing and found that although she is young, she is cautious and cunning. Her understanding of the world is as good as that of adults like us. She is good at calculations. A person like this is not worthy of marrying into our Qi family!"
Then, the sisters launched a series of in-depth discussions on the matter.
The result is that everyone holds their own truths and no one can convince anyone.
Finally, they both stopped talking at the same time and turned their questioning eyes to the master of the house, Qi Yu.
"I think our Xiao'er is still young, so we should focus on studying and not set up marriages too early. Even if we get married, we adults shouldn't be responsible for it. At the very least, we have to find someone to marry him. Someone who agrees with him, right?"
Not a big deal?
This statement is really new, but where does this put traditional parental orders?
Liu Quan was puzzled by this.
However, Yin Tao agreed very much.
Qi Yu smiled and said: "There are both essence and dross in traditional culture. We should know how to choose and use them. If we are conservative and don't know how to improve, how can we talk about great progress with each passing day?"
All right!
He's right!
Liu Quan thought for a while and reminded: "Since this is such an attitude, it is better to find a suitable opportunity to inform Mr. Meng, so as to prevent him from pulling red strings without knowing the reason."
Qi Yu also thought so, so he agreed.
